Force orientation in desktop mode on Bazzite deck?

Is there a way to permanently force orientation in desktop mode? Currently running Bazzite deck on the Legion Go, and no matter how many times I correct the screen rotation in display settings, it still always opens upside-down on desktop mode.

Try disabling wayland, edit

/etc/default/wayland-desktop

/etc/default/wayland-desktop

to be false

That seems to have fixed the issue. Nested Desktop still working too

@Aru If you're on KDE and want to use Wayland, I've got a script that can fix this issue.

btw the rotation problem seems to be a non-issue on deck-gnome. or at least, I didn't encounter the issue when I ran deck-gnome before switching to KDE

I'm confused on the second part

Add the fix Bazitte sh to the autostart folder or?

Just add it from KDE's Autostart settings. Settings > Startup and Shutdown > Autostart. Click the "Add..." button > Add application and type the path to the script (or use the browse button) .

Just edit the script and change the direction, the comment shows value

Good question. I don't use nested desktop myself so if you test it out, lemme know how that goes.

AruOP•11/24/23, 6:44 AM

I'm assuming I might need to add an extra check for gamescope session, which shouldn't be too hard

Sorry, what line in the script is the orientation?

Change "normal" to right, normal, left or inverted

Dd3Xt3r Change "normal" to right, normal, left or inverted

Changing to left did the trick.

d3Xt3r•11/24/23, 8:24 AM

Nice

Is it possible to add steam patch to autostart, for the controller?

Sure, just follow the same process, just add to Autostarts.

AruOP•11/24/23, 4:47 PM

It does indeed affect nested desktop. Fix was simple though, just add an if statement for the entire script body:

IS_GAMEMODE="$(cat /proc/*/comm | grep gamescope-ses*)"

if [[ -z "$IS_GAMEMODE" ]] ;
then

IS_GAMEMODE="$(cat /proc/*/comm | grep gamescope-ses*)"

if [[ -z "$IS_GAMEMODE" ]] ;
then
